Under Age Nana: 2nd January 2015

Grandad's day started at 6.15am to sort out the hounds. He was lucky enough to be first to say hello to Nixon at 7.30am while Nana had sweet dreams of the hunky guy off Criminal Minds. They both woke me up at 7.45ish. Bye bye dream man and hello handsome real life wee man that most people only dream of having as a grandson (oh and hello Mick too, my true life dream man - choke, choke, cough, cough).

Mmmmm

Nixon and I hung out, mostly in bed, reading books and playing peek-a-boo. He was back in bed by 9.30 and back up by 10.30 to get ready to go to Rangiora for a big trip to the Warehouse and New World. That is what we do when we are homesick!

Off we went to Rangiora. Straight to the big red shed. We trawled the aisles for our bargains and got a few. Grandad went straight to the toy department because he had a real excuse to explore that part of the shop for a change.

After the Whero Whare we went to Pizza Hut for a gourmet $5.00 pizza and a pepsi each. Grandad is such a romantic when it comes to taking me out for meals! Nixon had a muffin from Couplands and some scraps of pizza. Nixon and I are very cheap dates!!!

Waiting for grandad to bring the groceries out.

Back in the van and off to New World for the exciting finale of our day trip out. I'm sure the excitement was just too much for Nixon who slept all the way back to Oxford.

Zonked

Nixon woke up happy and cheerful from his sleep as usual. Full of beans and mischief.

Double trouble

Thank you grandad for my new truck.

Man it was hot today. 28 degrees Celsius at 4pm and heaps hotter before that. We covered the wee man in heaps of sunblock. Nixon cooled off in the pool, then with the hose and splashed in the pool again. He whizzed around the section exploring and keeping a close eye on Grandad. He just couldn't seem to get cool so we stripped him right off in an attempt to keep him cool.
